Procurement of Service

[Soufiane]

Hello , 

We are using the scop Item 22Z  and we want add some restriction in the use of this scop Item by using  the Product master data :

Is it possible to assign the Product type or the Material Group to a specific Item category ? 

Thank you for you help !

Hi Soufiane,

I can help you bit more here with the services procurement scope item 22Z. Using this scope item you can order services in various ways.

1) Free text item in PO and mark the product type group = 2 for services.

2) Using a product master of type SERV .

In the second option , when you create a product master data for product of type SERV , you can define a default material group key in the master data . This is similar to how one has defined material group to products of type FERT , or HAWA etc.

Once you have defined a material group in the product master of type SERV , this will be defaulted in the PO at at the time of creation as soon as you enter this product in the material field of PO item. Also the product type will be picked up automatically from the product master and assigned in the PO item as product type group = 2.

Hope this helps

Regards,

Amit

Hello soufiane30,

Using below IMG configuration, user could default values to the service PO but in cloud it is not possible to do so as there is nothing for this.

IMG -> Materials Management -> External Services Management -> Source Determination and Default Values -> for Purchasing Organizations

Hence use either of below options;

- You can use the PO personal setting for PO item and can choose item category and material group to default.

- Or you can make use of SSCUI 102479 to 'Define Mapping of Material Groups to Purchasing Group' and material group can be defaulted based on material type SERV.

It is not possible to create custom item categories in S4HC. The reason is that item categories as well as document types are at the core of the best practices enabled in S4HC. Allowing to have custom document types and/or item categories would deviate from the best practices and standards promoted in S4HC.

Please refer to SSCUI 102807 in Manage Your Solution, where you can assign one or more item categories to single sales document types. Please note that currently you can only make restricted changes in this SSCUI i.e. you can specify which item categories the system proposes during document processing for each sales document type and item category group for only a few line items, the others are greyed out and cannot be modified.
